Language conflict in fstab

Hello Henrik! Hobbit reports the following error message: Expected string (Capacity and Mounted) not found in df output header Dateisystem kByte belegt verfügbar Kapazität Eingehängt auf The Hobbit monitor doesn't unterstand the german output of the fstab. I think this problem will also appear on other located versions. Is there any possibility to avoid this problem or have I to wait for a future release fixing that bug?! Thanks in advance and best regards Christian

[hobbit] bb-dftab
by Allan.Marillier＠dana.com 11 Sep '05

11 Sep '05

Thanks again Larry! That did it. I need to get a few old BigBrother ideas out of my head and do more reading in hobbit man pages and examples. I was misled by the hobbitclient.cfg which shows BBDFTAB="$BBHOME/etc/bb-dftab", as well as bb-proctab, bb-msgtab and bb-cputab I assume then that the same applies to all of those settings, that they will all be set in hobbit-clients.cfg on the server. Which makes me wonder - Henrik, I'm sure you had a good reason for putting BBDFTAB="$BBHOME/etc/bb-dftab" etc in the hobbitclient.cfg on the client, but what purpose does it serve there? "Larry.Barber at usda.gov" <Larry.Barber at usda.gov> 09/02/2005 01:51 PM Please respond to hobbit at hswn.dk To "hobbit at hswn.dk" <hobbit at hswn.dk> cc Subject Re: [hobbit] bb-dftab When using the hobbit client you need to set those on the Hobbit server in the $BBHOME/etc/hobbit-clients.cfg file. There is no client side configuration for the hobbit client, at least for notification thresholds.

4.1.1 client issue
by craig＠cookitservices.com 09 Sep '05

09 Sep '05

Not sure if this is worth reporting or not since I am doing something undocumented ;) Compiled Hobbit on CentOS 4. /home/hobbit/server/* /home/hobbit/client/* etc Copied "client/*" to another CentOS 4 box. Instead of running as the user "hobbit" as documented, I'm running it in my own user directory for testing. client$ cd /home/craig/ client$ ./client/runclient.sh start logs show this: 2005-09-09 14:37:54 hobbitlaunch starting 2005-09-09 14:37:54 Loading tasklist configuration from ./client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg 2005-09-09 14:37:54 Cannot open env file /home/hobbit/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg - No such file or directory The runclient.sh script looks like it may handle this... No big deal, I should create a hobbit user for my client boxes. Craig Cook -- Systems Monitoring Consulting and Support Services http://www.cookitservices.com

[hobbit] error creating rrd DS (invalid DS name)

Any ideas? > Where are the constraints on DS names listed? The constraints are in the rrdcreate doc : http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/doc/rrdcreate.en.html There is a debug option (--debug) to most hobbit programs, so you can add this flag in hobbitlaunch.cfg and see if you get more infos about the rrdcreate. In the hobbitd/do_rrd.c, you can find the error message at this line (around line 143 in my snaphsot): errprintf("RRD error creating %s: %s\n", filedir, rrd_get_error()); The error comes from the rrd_create two lines above. And the "if (debug)" block beginning at line 128 shows the rrdcreate parameters. Hope this'll help. Nicolas Figaro

New version of hobbit
by mailinglists＠websitemanagers.com.au 08 Sep '05

08 Sep '05

Just wondering if we are likely to see the next version of hobbit soon? I'm hoping to get a debian client package that I can easily roll out across the network to replace all my old BB installations. PS, do you know what would be needed to support a debian repository so people can just add the lines to their apt/sources files and automatically see when updates are available? Thanks, Adam
